Mike and Rick are right on that was what I was trying to say, but not as eloquently as Mike.
On a side note I thought of this post last evening when I was doing my 12 Commercial bathrooms monthly cleaning. Previously, with a helper my best time was 7-8 hrs. Last night with a new helper 3 1/2 hrs! I was shocked, in the past I'd have to stop , empty porty, fill porty then continue to clean (it has auto fill and dump but in this environment a pita to use) taking a lot of time. This guy quickly learned to keep it filled, he never stood around just kept doing stuff. Allowing me to keep cleaning, except when we'd dump which he'd take the first 5 gals and dump it we'd drain the second and while he was carrying to dump I'm back cleaning. Huge improvement for the same results plus the fatigue factor. I felt like I hadn't even worked.
